Basically, this recipe is basic. But it photographed well, so we have several tips. 🙂
Buy sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (we're gonna use it) at your local grocery store.
The oil has a great flavor (and smell, oy).
This is a perfect Vitamix recipe, but a food processor will work, too.
Just because it's a savory recipe doesn't mean you can't lick the spoon!
This sun dried tomato was not packed it oil. It's sole purpose is for garnish. Skip this unless you're fancy.
